I've been here twice and I feel like I have to discover all their delicious food in the menu. Wow. I am so impressed once again. Rain did not stop us to get some fresh Italian. First,the staff were happy to serve. I love basil and its flavor so I chose this dish after a validation from one staff. Super tasty! Pairing it with a cab was truly satisfying. Highly recommended. This was worth the second try. The energy of the diners brought good vibes. It seems to me that some are frequent diners already. Amazing. Thinking of some Italian? This is a legit place. Thank me later read more

Fritto Misto - Wild Basil Ravioli . Sooo good! - Italian Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I am so sorry. There was one server who was an absolute sweet heart, but she couldn't save what came out to our tables. My pasta literally smelled like I would get food poisoning, and tasted like everything was canned.. pasta included. I had to douse it in chili flakes and salt to get some flavor but to no success. My fiancé also had a similar situation where it was bland and just did not taste good. Her wine almost tasted artificial. Maybe we had a bad day but definitely not risking going back. We paid for the check and left full plates, we hate waste but we just couldn't. We ended up going to another establishment. read more

Absolutely delicious food and the service is great. It's nice to be able to get a table without a long wait. One of the best restaurants in the South Bay. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Our food was delicious!! The sauce was my favorite part of this dish. I felt very welcomed by all the servers. I love that they provide bread and butter on the house, it just makes the experience so enjoyable. This is the perfect place to go for a hearty dinner after a day at the beach! read more

Best Italian restaurant. If you looking for something special and delicious this place for you. The waiters so attentive for customers. I love that place and recommend everyone who like pasta read more

I went here last night with my girlfriend and 2 friends for dinner. I love Italian food and I've tried different Italian restaurants in LA. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo and I can honestly say it was the best Alfredo sauce I've ever had. I asked others on my table to try it and they also agreed. I don't think I can ever order Alfredo anywhere else. The Caesar salad was also very delicious. The staff were great. The owner walked around and checked in on us and we mentioned it was our first time there and he gave us a free desert! Absolutely loved this place. read more

On the day I went there, the place was almost empty and I feel the server could have been more attentive to my needs. I waited about 10 minutes to get a glass of water and the server wasn't friendly. The food was good not great although reviews stated that the food was great. The ambiance was nice. I took photos of the food and inside the restaurant. It looks nice and so does the food. Overall, I would give it 3 stars. read more

Went to Fritto Misto with my family for lunch and had the most delicious pasta! I got the Pillows Checca and it was divine. It was a little on the lighter side, considering it's pasta, but tasted delicious. I do wish there were more tomatoes to make up for the sauceless dish. Nonetheless, the flavors were there! I loved how their menu was divided into meat sections and even had a plethora of vegetarian options to choose from! If none of those peaked your interest, you can also do a "build your own" and mix and match pastas and sauces. Definitely coming back! read more

Fritto Misto - Pillows Checca - Italian Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Homey local Italian spot with large portions. Came here in a group of four on a Friday around 7:30 and waited about 15-20 min to get a table. Metered street parking only (no private parking). Indoor dining only. Credit cards accepted. Two gender neutral restrooms available behind the hostess stand. They can accommodate large groups. Kid-friendly. They give you complimentary bread with olive oil and basalmic vinegar. I got the chicken Parmesan Hermosa which was huge, and made for great leftovers the following day for lunch. The shrimp gnocchi is also a good call if you like creamy white sauces. For those who are pickier, you can opt to customize your own pasta. The tiramisu "for two" can easily feed four people and is a good dessert option. Overall, for a spot that's close to the pier but still with a local flair, this is the right call. read more

It was my first time coming here! The staff was very kind & attentive! Shoutout to our kind server Mercedes This place is a small hole in the wall and you may have to wait a bit for a table but it is so worth it. I ordered the chicken ravioli with Alfredo sauce it was soooooo bomb. My boyfriend got lemon pepper fettuccine with Alfredo and shrimp. The dishes here are made with high quality. I will be coming back to try more things on the menu. read more

This is a really nice mom and pop shop it seems to get crowded fast but food comes out fast so that' isn't too big of a deal. Good pasta

I've gone back to to restaurant and it's changed my mind 100%. Great service and amazing food. 10/10

Fritto Misto is serving up affordable Italian food on the main drag in Hermosa Beach. We were promptly seated on a Thursday evening and they were kind enough to oblige when my friend's kid asked for the largest booth in the front of the restaurant for just the 3 of us as it was pretty empty inside. Our server was pleasant but he did bring us the check without us asking when we still wanted dessert, and the salads took quite a while to come out with mine coming out 5 minutes before my friend's. The menu is large and you can do everything from creating your own pasta to ordering one of their specialty pastas and they have a section with plenty of vegetarian specialties. I started with the Caesar Salad. I'm not a fan of grated parmesan on my Caesar and especially at an Italian restaurant I would expect some nice shaved parm, but the lettuce was crisp and the dressing was good. I ordered the Spicy Shrimp Ravioli which comes in a garlic cream sauce with cajun seared chicken. I enjoyed the ravioli but the sauce was very oily and the chicken was quite overcooked to the point of almost being hard. The complimentary bread was top notch. read more

I hadn't been to Fritto Misto in a while. Here's the good and bad. Good: 1. Mom's angel hair bolognese. 2. Lemon black pepper linguini with Carbonara sauce. Delicious! Bad: 1. Pillows - these were very disappointing. They were cold, the cheese was cold, outside stale like they had been cooked five hours ago. They were really awful. In the trash they went ($11!). 2. Flourless chocolate cake was SO dry and the flavor was bland. Excellent: 1. The service. From the phone call to order to the cashier helping me by bringing the order to my car, everyone was great! It was much appreciated! read more

i come here quite often, love the alfredo. The dishes here are really nice. My girlfriend and I loved it. The vibe here is relaxed, everyones super nice. The pasts dishes are the best thing on the menu here I think. I love the Caesar salad too. Unique flavor profile and stands out. Would recommend coming here. read more

Made an order for pick up. Got the pillows, calamari, and meat pasta. The pasta was very average for the price (over $30). The only thing we really enjoyed was the calamari. read more

Cute little place, and service was super friendly and efficient. Husband and I went, and both thought the food was OK, but not great. Maybe we should have stuck with more traditional Italian dishes, maybe that's where they excel. The fresh baked bread the brought out was SPECTACULAR seriously- how can simple bread be that good? We had the fried pillow appetizer. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit odd. Not really crispy, not really chewy, kinda tough. Hubby had one of the specials, a pork tenderloin with garlic fettuccine. He said the pork was good, but the pasta was on the bland side. I ordered the Atomic Pasta- blackened chicken with roasted peppers over pasta with chipotle cream sauce. It was labeled "spicy" but wasn't. Again it wasn't BAD, just not great. We will give them another chance at some point, but stick to something more traditional to see if that's where they shine. But man, that bread was GOOD! read more

This place is delicious and authentic. I wish I could've ate more. It's such a cute and cozy place. My friend raves about the location in Santa Monica so I had to try when I saw they had one in hermosa while we were out there. It's so loud and lively here just as a family Italian restaurant should be! Service is great! They even packed us bread to go. read more

Great Sunday for an early dinner at Fritto Misto, just a few steps from the beach in Hermosa. Finding parking was a serious challenge. But patience is key and we managed to get a stop just as someone was leaving. We arrived ahead of the crowds. Hermosa Beach is dazzling with beach activities and this area is known for its vibrant local cuisine. We ordered a new appetizer for us. The Fried Pillows are a must! The chipotle dipping sauce makes it an excellent pairing. I'd go there just for that. Just saying. The bread and butter are tasty. Don't forget to request balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil for your bread. We had enough food to take some home and have for lunch the next day. We enjoyed our dining experience. You will too. Most importantly give Fritto Misto a chance. My wife ordered the Sage chicken. She raved about the texture and flavors of her dish. I ordered the delectable Chicken parmigiana that comes with Linguine. It's quite healthy the way they cook it. Two breasts of chicken in a light fluffy tomato sauce. A glass of pinot grigio was a good compliment to my dish. read more

Worst customer Service EVER!!! After trying to have dinner for me and my friend the host told me that I have to wait for the "Manager" to be seated.5 minutes goes so far and a party of 3 shows up and they are immediately seated I ask the manager why and she told me on my face that that party came before me and I am free to go if I don't like it.Never Ever had such a DISRESPECTFUL SERVICE!!! never coming back again!!! read more

We were looking for a great spot to have lunch and came here, a little hole in the wall. And it was amazing! The bread was steamy and warm, the vibe is definitely very casual. It was quiet and very enjoyable. Not too many people so it didn't feel crowded. When the food came it was hot and very delicious. The lobster ravioli literally melted in my mouth. The sauce is an amazing combination. Definitely a must try spot! Lauren was the sweetest waiter as well! I really appreciate her hospitality! Will definitely come back for another round! read more

Love this place! Family owned and operated. House made pasta. One of our must eat when we visit the beach!

I have been coming to Fritto Misto for over 20 years. Mainly visiting the Fritto Misto in Santa Monica. I decided to try the Hermosa Beach location because we were in the area and it was late afternoon before the crowd. I was disappointed with my dish, Pasta New Orleans. It lacked flavor...it was not what I expect from Fritto Misto, because it is one of my favorite restaurants. Maybe it was an off day or just this location. The Misto salad, bread, and iced tea were delicious and the atmosphere is cute and cozy. read more

Cute and family-feel vibe to this place. Place is pretty packed at night. Comfortable setting and a great option when you want Italian in the Manhattan/ Hermosa Beach. I love the bread here and delicious with the olive oil and vinegar:) I recommend the Jumbo Ravioli! read more

Fritto Misto - Jumbo Ravioli - Italian Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Stopped by for late lunch on Saturday and everything was great. Service was quick and friendly, food was delicious, and dessert was the perfect sweet treat after. We ordered jumbo ravioli and short rib ravioli and it was all amazing. The short rib ravioli is super savory with a nice kick of heat, nothing overbearing. The jumbo ravioli had tons of prosciutto and a fair amount of sun dried tomatoes which balanced out the flavors really well. When we were finished with our ravioli I had to take our bread to sop up the leftover sauce cuz it was that delicious. We were offered a slice of chocolate lava cake with fresh whipped cream for dessert, and we happily obliged. It was surprisingly light and not too sweet. 10/10 would recommend read more

I'm disappointed, I ordered the Chicken piccata and it genuinely had no flavor not even the sauce. I feel upset especially with the price. The severs were very sweet and nice environment read more

Came on a Thursday around 4pm - pretty empty and chill. Enjoyed how peaceful and quaint it was. Service was great. Love that they serve complimentary bread. What we ordered: 1) basil pesto fettuccine with added mushrooms (6/10) I love pesto, but this particular dish was bland. I already don't eat very salty foods - so this definitely needed just a bit more salt or parm or something to give it a little more flavor. 2) Spicy shrimp ravioli with chicken (7/10) Enjoyed the creamy and flavorful sauce. Only thing is the chicken was super dry and not enjoyable to eat. But I'd have just the ravioli and sauce again! read more

I have been going to Fritto Misto since it opened. Last night we ordered takeout and it was the first time I have been disappointed. When I picked up our order, the restaurant was packed and despite this, the staff was attentive to people arriving including me. My favorite dish is the sage cream chicken but this time it was just bland - no sage taste at all. Since this is my favorite dish, it was really disappointing. The portions are generous and the staff is friendly which is why I didn't give a lower rating. Maybe it was an off night - I hope so read more

This place seems hum drum upon walking in, but it's shockingly good. We like to come here when we just want a cozy bar to belly up to and just relax. There is no pretense. This place is not fancy. The food is solid. The prices are fair. The bartenders are great. Seriously. They are super honest about what is good and what isn't. (That being said, don't get the soup unless they tell you it's good that day. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't) We learned recently that they get lots of crazy deals of wines and liquor. You can find some amazing wines here that should be triple the price. But, they buy in large lots with the goal to share good wines at a great price for their customers. Such a great way to do business. Come here and get a fairly priced drink before you go to Tar and Roses and pay 5x the price. read more

Pretty solid Italian in Hermosa! The inside of the restaurant and presentation of the food are both relatively unglamorous. It's not one of those remodeled hipster vibey spots, but I can't complain about the food! It's cooked well and the flavors are spot on. You can't go wrong with any of the pastas! I will also add that the portions are massive! That can be a pro or con depending on your preferences. Lastly, I have to say the service is wonderful. Every single employee was incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming. So if you're looking for a fresh hip restaurant, this might not be for you, but if you're looking for a real down to earth, reasonably priced, and solid Italian, I would recommend! read more

A cute local Italian restaurant in a charming area in the South Bay. Being in this area always brings a smile to my face and it's always fun to try new places here. FOOD: I would say the food here is good but it is pretty heavy. Expect some flavor and heaviness to each dish (but I will say I'm pretty sensitive to grease and oiliness). We tried calamari, the chicken picatta and the jumbo ravioli. Definitely best to eat while it's fresh since I took it back as leftovers and when warmed up, the picatta sauce did all turn into oil. AMBIANCE: This is a charming and refreshing area so it gives a beachy vibe forsure. We sat outside which was nice but it is right on the sidewalk which could feel a bit busy since people walk by while you eat. SERVICE/PRICE: Service was good. Price is pretty high but understandable for the location and the portion size. Food & Beverages: 4 Ambiance & Cleanliness: 3.8 Price Point: 3.5 Overall Experience: 3.8 read more

The food is pretty decent, it's a family- style restaurant, nice and cozy atmosphere in the winter too. The customer service is okay but it is slow and sometimes have to remind them to bring more drink and bread....long wait sometimes for the food. But overall it is a nice place with decent food still. Only wish they served penne pasta as well, don't understand why they got rid of that. Portion sizes are nice and big so enjoy taking some home with what I can't finish. It's overall a nice experience. read more

If you like the small home style feeling then this is the place. Walking distance to the pier to walk your food off. They are super friendly and helpful at suggestions if one needs them. read more

Firstly, the food was SUPERB! I would come back here just to try additional items on the menu. Arrived around 6pm on a Thursday night for a party of 2. Was not busy when we got there but was more lively by the time we left. Cute restaurant on smaller side. Parking is not so great on a busy evening. Meter parking all over so come prepared. I would say my only other notes from that evening is that I'm not sure if they were understaffed or it was just busy for a Thursday but it took about 10 minutes to get seated with 2/3 of restaurant with open tables (hostess said only manager could seat people). Took about another 10 minutes after being seated to get water, that did not get refilled until our food came, another 15-20 minutes later. Not going to knock this place because of that, but did want to mention. The food was so good that it trumped the OK service that night. Overall would recommend coming for some amazing Italian dishes! -We tried the stuffed pillows - YUM! -Also ordered the lemon pepper fettuccine (YES, the pasta dough is MADE with lemon pepper!!!!) with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli. To die for. -Ended with small order of tiramisu. Was ready for a nap after all of this deliciousness read more

Our group of 9 was celebrating a new baby and reserved a table at Frito Misto in Hermosa Beach on a Saturday evening. Our seating was great, including a high chair for the infant in our party....our server was prompt, attentive and accurate in placing our orders and serving our food and beverages. I had the special with lamb and lemon fettuccine in a port wine sauce with wild mushrooms. This exotic dish was served hot and tasty. I liked the complexity of the flavors and it went well following the calamari appetizer. The check was very reasonable for our large party. They did not automatically add a service charge to the bill but it was easy for us to be generous considering the great service, great food and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is not large, so in my opinion it would be best to have a reservation. read more
